summary

Logicomix is a unique blend of storytelling and philosophy, weaving together the lives of three great minds: Bertrand Russell, Alfred North Whitehead and the young logician Kurt Gödel. These three embark on a journey in search of the foundations of mathematics and risk their careers to complete the epic quest. Set against the backdrop of World War I and II, this graphic novel offers readers an imaginative way to understand abstract concepts such as the Principia Mathematica, and how this behemoth of logic was constructed, and how its two creators ultimately fell from grace. Logicomix is a powerful and inspiring book that delves into the mysteries of the mind and is a must-read for anyone seeking a greater understanding of the history of logic and the philosophy of science.
